It seems that our friend Hub Ev ans and some of his friends constru ed a remark in one of my letter from Columbia as a criticism of hirr Nothing was further from my mine I am sorry I was. so unfortunate i the words used as to permit any on to place that construction on it. 1 I nad desired to criticise mm or m course I hope I would not have bee' so lacking in regard for the praprie ties as to have done it in the sum connection in which I was thankin him for courtesies extended me b liim which I appreciated very mud So far as I have been able to observ Mr. Evans demeaned himself wit! credit to his county during the ses sion and made many friends anion the membership. This is due and i -said without the solicitation or know ledge of Mr. Evans. E. H. Aull. What a great thing it is to dra the roads and what a great help J is to the road, and what a fine tim this is for the use of the drag. It rather looks to us that Mr. Rich Vioo tho oHvantfjp'p nf CrO* Manning. According 10 Mr. Richard son Gov. Manning states the facts i part, but not the whole truth, wliic sometimes is very misleading an leaves an entirely wrong impressioi We are more convinced now than e\ er that the proper thing for -Go* Mannine to have don? would ;iav been, if he had evidence of malfe,:)? ance in office as he charges in lii messase. to have presented it in tiui :o have it investigated before the clos ins: days of the session. It. was sorte like a stab in the back and we neve did have any patience with an assa< sin either of character or of life. Gov. Blease in his interview an review of the legislature is wrong i one particular. This editor introduc ed a bill before Mr. Blease was go^ ernor to abolish scholarships in Slat institutions. We think .Mr. Bleas was in the senate at the time. Bi he is correct in many other thins which he says. The last note of Lloyd George t the House of Commons does not hat so much the ring of a shout about i n?! ; < *>> ituw Liici c '?> nu suu without hunting the submarine. An he tells the House of Commons ui less the people are prepared to a< cept drastic measures disaster is bi fore ihem. An examination of the vote in tl: congressional race in the sixth dii trict shows that Mr. Stevenson wc largely because his own county stoc by him. Of his 2100 majority 17! of it was from Chesterfield count He carried York by only four vot( and the vote in the other counties wz very light, this being true of M Sapp's county. Gov. Manning has signed the quar a-month act, and that means, as v have read the Federal law. if should be approved by .the presiden that .the sick in South Carolina ms continue to receive a quart a monl by making affidavit before the probai judge that they need the whiskey i: medicinal purposes. If the govern had not approved the quart-a-mon * lav/ after the first of July South Ca olina would have been a "bone dr, _ State. That seeins to be the opim. of lawyers who have looked into t! Federal statute. The section of the Federal statu - j reads as follows: j "Whosoever suan orner. i;urc:ia: j or cause intoxicating liquors to I transported in interstate commerc I except for scientific, sacrament: e . medicinal, or mechanical purpose 11into any State or territory the la^ * ! of which State or territory prohic the manufacture or sale therein of i 3 j toxicating liquors for beverage pu s j poses, shall be punished by a fine i not more than $1,000, or imprison* e. for not more than six months, s I both, and for any subsequent often 1 ! Qhflll ho imnrisoned not more th: ^ j one year." "i Senator Carlisle o! Spartanbui 7: who is a real prohibitionist is quot. ': as saying on this section: "Undi '' the DuRant bill, (which means tl bill which the governor has signe< ' the one quart comes in for medicin . J purposes, and hence in my opinic ", would not be affected by the Feder ; law recently passed." And in til * same statement he urged all true pr< 11 hibitionists to request the goverrn f not to sign it. But the governor h; e signed it. Now there will be a b * business in the probate court for ce ^ tificates to get liquor for medicini * purposes, and there will be a larj * number who will feel the need of I For us we wish the governor had n< ' signed the bill so that we may ha^ had real and true prohibition. An , it seems that the opinion of Mr. Ca: L | lisle is in accordance wun me rut 3ieral statute. Mr. Carlisle is of tl; 11 opinion that the gallon-a-month woul 3 have placed the liquor busines ^ squarely under the Federal statute s i -w I The Herald and News takes pleai , ure in congratulating Congressma ' , Dominick on having raised the $10( 1 j apportioned to his district for the d 1 > licit in the national campaign fun 1 j It was a big undertaking in view < 3 j the fact that the district had alreac! "imade liberal contributions to tl ! fund. r' So far as we have observed tl third district is the only one in tl a State that has raised the amount a / portioned to make up the deficit. A Quiltlner Party. The clouds have been shedd'i tears so long, we were about to lo< faith in the old maxim, "Behind tl ; clouds, the sun is still shining."

Shocked at the revelations that wo- ^ ' . men and children have been roused * tn riot bv hunger in the most pros perous country in the world, in peace j times, President Wilson and his ad 'visers determined to take vigorous and immediate action. In congress, however, there was a growing conviction that c drastic measures "to feed the h* -y would t bring relief. i Following the cabinet _ig. it was stated that the presiQci . and his aHuiaorc that the shortage ;j- of railroad cars and the present tie up of transportation facilities was . in large measure responsible for the , food shortage. The interstate com merce commission was ordered to ^ press with all vigor its compaign to 5e relieve the car shortage.

After the conference, Chairman Den k-e man pointed out that these vessels of ;e which some 675,000 tons now are w building wou'i give great relief If placed in the coastwise and Missis is sippi river trade. s.
